D is the correct answer because you would subtracts what he descended from where he started in order to find out how many feet he descended in all.

A would be the correct answer because he is up in elevation so that makes the 1200 positive and he goes down 20.4 which is negative and is goes that far down!!

hope this helps

There are many reasons why there are differences in price in Lemonade.
The first is the volume or amount of the Lemonade. Obviously, the greater the amount of the Lemonade, the higher is its price.
The price of the lemonade is given, the unit price then is
$4.99/95 ounces = $0.053/ounce
Another reason is the difference in the ingredients. Some Lemonade might have additional ingredients that could make the price higher.
The difference in materials costs in different areas may also be the reason.

You plan to take $450 u.s. on a trip to south africa. how many rands is this if one u.s. dollar equals 3.70 rands?
Mumz [18]
$1 = 3.70 rand

$450 is the same as 450 * $1, so multiply both sides of the conversion equation above by 450.

450 * $1 = 450 * 3.70 rand

$450 = 1665 rand

How do we know what sign goes outside of the bracket when factoring binomials?
Xelga [282]
I'm assuming you're asking about negative or positive signs here. When I factor binomials, it depends on what would make factoring simpler for me. And how you're factoring the binomial too.

More often than not, it's going to be positive. For example, 4x^2 - 2x = 0. That would factor out to be 2x(2x-1) = 0. The sign outside is going to be positive because it's simpler to solve that way. Here, x is equal to 0 and equal to 1/2. Taking out a negative in this case would complicate the solving process.

From a group of 3 men and 4 women, a delegation of 2 is selected. What is the expected number of men in the delegation?
Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

The expected number of men in the delegation is 0.86.

Step-by-step explanation:

Number of men = 3

Number of women = 4

A delegation of 2 is selected.

Let X be the number of men selected. So, the possible values of X are 0,1,2.

P(X=0)=\dfrac{^3C_0\times ^4C_2}{^7C_2}=\dfrac{2}{7}

P(X=1)=\dfrac{^3C_1\times ^4C_1}{^7C_2}=\dfrac{4}{7}

P(X=2)=\dfrac{^3C_2\times ^4C_0}{^7C_2}=\dfrac{1}{7}

The expected number of men in the delegation is

E(x)=0\times P(X=0)+1\times P(X=1)+2\times P(X=2)

E(x)=0\times \dfrac{2}{7}+1\times \dfrac{4}{7}+2\times \dfrac{1}{7}

E(x)=\dfrac{6}{7}

E(x)\approx 0.86

Therefore, the expected number of men in the delegation is 0.86.
